1928 Map of Rumney

About this map

Baker River defines the central corridor of this Grafton County landscape, where the Boston and Maine Railroad connects a string of valley settlements during the late 1920s. The rail line is the primary artery for the region's economy, serving locations such as Glencliff, Swainboro Sta, and Rumney Depot. While the valley floors host clustered communities like Warren and Wentworth, the surrounding highlands are punctuated by isolated infrastructure and mountain landmarks. Notable upland features include the Stinson Mtn Fire Tower and mining sites like the Quarry and Ore Hill. The northeastern corner reveals the industrial footprint of the logging era with several numbered camps, including Camp No 4 and Camp No 5, situated along Hubbard Brook. Local education is well-represented by rural institutions like Maple Grove Sch and Buffalo Sch, providing a clear record of the area's early 20th-century social geography.
